India; Economic information year book, 1987 - 88

The book has been thoroughly revised and updated. Quite many new tables have been added to cover more extensively the different facets of the economy. Additional statistical information has also been provided to highlight the performance of different states and regions. The sectional commentaries as also the introduction to the book have been suitably enlarged to facilitate proper understanding and analysis of the emerging trends.

The book is primarily designed to serve as a compact and comprehensive source of reference on the Indian economy. It provides detailed and latest available information in respect of the country's economy so as to reveal its structure, level of economic activity at the aggregative and sectoral levels, direction and extent of change, progress under planning as well as its ranking among the developed and developing countries of the world. It well depicts the drama of modernisation and growth of the economy in figures.

Besides being a good reference-book for college/university and public libraries, business executives, economic administrators, legislators, research workers, journalists and the like will all find it a useful publication. It will also prove handy and useful to all those in India and abroad who are interested in the problems of economic development of India, but who have little access to the large variety of publications relating to the different sectors of the economy.
